Genesis 6
1 And it came to pass, when men began to multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters were born unto them,
Pripetilo se je, ko so se na obličju zemlje ljudje začeli množiti in so se jim rojevale hčere,
2 That the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they [were] fair; and they took them wives of all which they chose.
da so Božji sinovi videli človeške hčere, da so bile lepe in so si jih jemali za žene od vseh, ki so si jih izbrali.
3 And the LORD said, My spirit shall not always strive with man, for that he also [is] flesh: yet his days shall be an hundred and twenty years.
Gospod je rekel: »Moj duh se ne bo vedno prepiral s človekom, kajti on je prav tako meso, vendar bo njegovih dni sto dvajset let.«
4 There were giants in the earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare [children] to them, the same [became] mighty men which [were] of old, men of renown.
Takrat, v tistih dneh, so bili na zemlji velikani; in tudi potem, ko so Božji sinovi vstopali noter v človeške hčere in so jim te rodile otroke, so ti isti postali mogočni možje, ki so bili iz davnine, možje z ugledom.
5 And GOD saw that the wickedness of man [was] great in the earth, and [that] every imagination of the thoughts of his heart [was] only evil continually.
Bog pa je videl, da je bila človekova zlobnost na zemlji velika in da je bila vsaka miselna zamisel njegovega srca nenehno samo zla.
6 And it repented the LORD that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart.
To je pokesalo Gospoda, da je na zemlji naredil človeka in to ga je užalostilo pri njegovem srcu.
7 And the LORD said, I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the earth; both man, and beast, and the creeping thing, and the fowls of the air; for it repenteth me that I have made them.
Gospod je rekel: »Uničil bom človeka, ki sem ga ustvaril, izpred obličja zemlje, « tako človeka kakor žival in plazečo stvar ter perjad neba, kajti to me je pokesalo, da sem jih naredil.«
8 But Noah found grace in the eyes of the LORD.
Toda Noe je našel milost v Gospodovih očeh.
9 These [are] the generations of Noah: Noah was a just man [and] perfect in his generations, [and] Noah walked with God.
To so Noetovi rodovi. Noe je bil pravičen človek in popoln v svojih rodovih in Noe je hodil z Bogom.
10 And Noah begat three sons, Shem, Ham, and Japheth.
Noe je zaplodil tri sinove: Sema, Hama in Jafeta.
11 The earth also was corrupt before God, and the earth was filled with violence.
Tudi zemlja je bila izprijena pred Bogom in zemlja je bila napolnjena z nasiljem.
12 And God looked upon the earth, and, behold, it was corrupt; for all flesh had corrupted his way upon the earth.
Bog je pogledal na zemljo in glej, bila je izprijena, kajti vse meso na zemlji je izpridilo svojo pot.
13 And God said unto Noah, The end of all flesh is come before me; for the earth is filled with violence through them; and, behold, I will destroy them with the earth.
Bog je Noetu rekel: »Konec vsega mesa je prišel predme, kajti zemlja je po njih napolnjena z nasiljem, in glej, uničil jih bom, z zemljo [vred].
14 Make thee an ark of gopher wood; rooms shalt thou make in the ark, and shalt pitch it within and without with pitch.
Naredi si ladjo iz gofrovega lesa. V ladji boš naredil prostore in jo zunaj in znotraj zasmolil s smolo.
15 And this [is the fashion] which thou shalt make it [of: ] The length of the ark [shall be] three hundred cubits, the breadth of it fifty cubits, and the height of it thirty cubits.
In to je oblika, po kateri jo boš naredil: dolžina ladje naj bo tristo komolcev, njena širina petdeset komolcev in njena višina trideset komolcev.
16 A window shalt thou make to the ark, and in a cubit shalt thou finish it above; and the door of the ark shalt thou set in the side thereof; [with] lower, second, and third [stories] shalt thou make it.
Ladji boš naredil okno in komolec nad tem jo boš končal. Vrata ladje boš napravil na njeni strani; s spodnjim, drugim in tretjim nadstropjem jo boš naredil.
17 And, behold, I, even I, do bring a flood of waters upon the earth, to destroy all flesh, wherein [is] the breath of life, from under heaven; [and] every thing that [is] in the earth shall die.
Glej jaz, celó jaz, privedem na zemljo poplavo vodá, da uničim vse meso, v katerem je dih življenja izpod neba in vsaka stvar, ki je na zemlji, bo umrla.
18 But with thee will I establish my covenant; and thou shalt come into the ark, thou, and thy sons, and thy wife, and thy sons’ wives with thee.
Toda s teboj bom vzpostavil svojo zavezo, in prišel boš na ladjo, ti in tvoji sinovi in tvoja žena in žene tvojih sinov s teboj.
19 And of every living thing of all flesh, two of every [sort] shalt thou bring into the ark, to keep [them] alive with thee; they shall be male and female.
Od vsake žive stvari, od vsega mesa, boš s seboj na ladjo privedel [po] dva od vsake vrste, da jih s teboj obvaruješ žive; naj bodo samec in samica.
20 Of fowls after their kind, and of cattle after their kind, of every creeping thing of the earth after his kind, two of every [sort] shall come unto thee, to keep [them] alive.
Od perjadi po njihovi vrsti in od živine po njihovi vrsti, od vsake zemeljske plazeče stvari po njeni vrsti, [po] dva od vsake vrste bosta prišla k tebi, da ju obvaruješ živa.
21 And take thou unto thee of all food that is eaten, and thou shalt gather [it] to thee; and it shall be for food for thee, and for them.
K sebi vzemi od vse hrane, ki se jé in jo boš zbral k sebi, in ta bo za hrano zate in zanje.«
22 Thus did Noah; according to all that God commanded him, so did he.
Noe je storil tako; glede na vse, kar mu je Bog ukazal, je storil tako.
The World is Destroyed by Water
